Kent Structures is proud to announce that we have achieved CHAS Elite accreditation.
Previously accredited to CHAS Advanced level, this latest achievement marks an important step forward for our business. It also provides additional assurance for our clients and project partners.
What Is CHAS Elite Accreditation?
CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is one of the UK’s leading contractor accreditation schemes.
It helps clients identify businesses that meet recognised standards for health and safety, compliance and risk management.
CHAS Elite is the highest level of accreditation available. It combines SSIP certification, PAS 91 requirements and the Common Assessment Standard into a single assessment process.
As a result, accredited businesses must demonstrate compliance across a broad range of operational areas.
What Does CHAS Elite Assess?
To achieve CHAS Elite accreditation, organisations must meet strict assessment criteria.
These requirements cover:
- Health and safety management
- Quality assurance
- Environmental management
- Equality and diversity
- Corporate social responsibility
- Information security
- Modern slavery prevention
The assessment provides independent verification that robust systems and procedures are in place across the business.
What Does This Mean for Our Clients?
For our clients, CHAS Elite accreditation provides additional confidence when selecting a construction contractor.
It demonstrates that Kent Structures operates to recognised industry standards. Furthermore, it confirms that our policies, procedures and management systems have been independently assessed and verified.
Many developers, principal contractors and public sector organisations now recognise the Common Assessment Standard as a preferred route for contractor prequalification. Consequently, CHAS Elite can help simplify procurement processes and reduce administrative requirements.
